Harnesses on early design phase spacecraft are like dark matter, you can't really observe them right now, but they will be like 80% of the mass.

There is some really fun CAD to do if you want a part-time in-semester internship or full time drafter role.
Anyone want to help me churn through a huge amount of CAD to-do's next week (maybe even a few weeks if you're having fun). Will pay $$$.
